G.Skill is a name I'm sure you're all familiar with. G.Skill has been a popular name in performance gaming memory for years now. Recently though G.Skill has ventures into the peripheral market, taking the RipJaws name along for the ride. They now have mechanical keyboards, gaming mice and headsets all bearing the RipJaws name. G.Skill was kind enough to send us over their latest headset - the SV710 - to check out for your guys so let's get to it!

Well we’ve already seen the impressive G.Skill Ripjaws KM780 Keyboard and the G.Skill Ripjaws MX780 Mouse, but now it’s time for the last piece in the PC Gaming peripheral lineup; this time it’s the turn of the G.Skill Ripjaws SV710 headset. If there’s one thing that James loves above all else (other than Orange!) it’s audio. Therefore I always enjoy taking a look (or is that listen) to a new headset, especially when we’ve not seen a headset from that manufacturer before…
So what is the G.Skill Ripjaws SV710, well most important is the fact that it is a circumaural (over the ear) stereo headset (one speaker per er-cup) with 7.1 virtual surround sound support. Each Driver is 50mm in diameter and features a neodymium magnet with an Impedance of 32Ω and a Frequency Response of 20-20,000Hz. The headset is equipped with a noise cancelling condenser based microphone that retracts into the left ear-cup. The SV710 also features an in-line control box as well as illuminated ear-cups, although there’s no RGB support.
